There's a container for every matter—liquid, solid, and gas. Pupils design three different containers, each with the capability to hold one of the states of matter, and share their design with the class.     

Crystal comes from a Greek word meaning ice. Activity eight in a series of 36 has class members analyzing amorphous and crystalline solids and further classifying them based on their forces. They then explore solids, learning about unit...

An excellent resource for a geometry class, as well as for an electrical engineering course. A thorough reference sheet covers geometric shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, and circles, as well as 3-D shapes and the Pythagorean...

Time to move into the third dimension! Learn the names of the geometric solids and count faces, edges, and vertices. Then learn to recognize nets that create a given solid. 

Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.    

Liquids, gases, and solids are the states of matter in which scholars investigate in a lesson plan that offers in-depth information and engaging activities that look into the three states and the changes their properties make when mixed...

How do you create a technical drawing? Cover the basics of technical sketching with a few practice sketches of simple shapes. A technical sketching lesson introduces the proper precision measurement techniques. Pupils progress...

Due to surface tension, dew — a liquid, is spherical in shape. Learners explore the properties of liquids in activity seven in this series of 36. Beginning with its basic properties such as boiling point and moving through to surface...

Explore the properties of gases through one activity and two investigations in which super scientists observe the changes gas makes when encountering different conditions.

Help kindergartners develop the academic language they need to master the Common Core standards with this list of math vocabulary. Including the definitions of each term as well as a set of word cards with supporting images and examples,...

Though they be but little, they are fierce! Young biologists read about eight different species of ants, and discover how the anatomy of their heads can explain the way they live and what they eat.

Science rocks! Explore three types of rocks and the rock cycle with an igneous rocks experiment. Pupils discuss textures, composition, and learn how melts are formed from the Earth's crust. They weigh materials using a scientific scale...

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about measurement including the metric system, surface area, perimeter, volume, area, time, solid shapes, unit conversion, solved examples, and practice questions.

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

Use this interactive tool to explore prisms. Change the height and the shape of the base to see how these affect the prism. There are also several additional options, e.g., making it oblique or transparent. Properties of a prism are...

Learn about volume with this helpful reference tool. Provides a detailed definition and examples that enhance further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Explains how an amoeba is able to move by altering the shape of its cell's cytoplasm and shifting between fluid and solid states. The amoeba can also form pseudopodium that allow it to move as well as to engulf prey through phagocytosis.
